CHURN- POWER.

SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 428,98'7, dated May 27,1890.

Application filed February 24, 1890. Serial No. 841,519. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARSHALL J. WVILLIAM- soN, of J onesborongh, in thecounty of Clayton and the State of Georgia, and a eitizen of the UnitedStates of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inChurn- Powers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear,and` exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to devices for facilitating the Operation ofchurning by conveniently producing a rapid motion of the dasher withoutthe necessity of a rapid motion of the hand in the Operation, theinvention consisting in the cheaply-eonstructed and efticient frame forholding the parts, and of a combination of gearing, and so forth,whereby ease and speed are acquired, the details of all of which will behereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of thedevice, showing the conformation and construction of the frame and thearrangement of the operative parts suitably journaled therein. Fig. 2 isan end elevation of the device, showing the elements as seen from theright of Fig. 1.

In the figures, like reference-marks indicating corresponding parts inthe several views, A is the base, which is made of the desired form,material, and dimensions, and to which the standard B is secured bymeans of screws passing through the base-plate b'. On the projecting endof the base A the churn is set and will hold the device steady while thesame is being operated. On the top end of the standard B and madeintegrally therewith, preferably, are the smaller uprights C, D, and E,which are connected together, as shown, at their tops, and form betweenthem spaces for the gearing and other part-s of the device.

The shaft F, carrying crank f and gear f', said gear being a spur-gear,is journaled in bearings c on the upright O and d on the standard D, andis adapted to revolve therein, the gear f' running'in the Openingbetween the uprights O and D and meshing with the pinion g on the shaftG, which said shaft is journaled in the bearing d' and e in the uprightsD and E, respectively, carrying in the space between said up'ights thebalance-wheel H and bevel spur-gear I, which engages with the pinionj onthe shaft J, said shaft being suitably journaled in the Vertical bearingk on the arm K, which is made integral with or attached to the uprightE. The vertical play of the shaft J in the bearing k is prevented by thecollar j' thereon, said shaft carrying' the ehuck j for connection withthe dasher-stem L, said stem being securely held therein by theset-screwj'. On the top of said shaft is a second balancewheel N of likeform, but smaller than the other one.

Strength is given and beauty added to the Structure by a flange M, whichfollows up the standard B and along the standards C, D, and E, followingtheir curves, and where it encounters journal-boxes mergin g therewith.

It is obvious that the speed of the .shaft J is much greater than thespeed of the shaft F, and that the balance-wheels give steadiness ofmotion.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a churn-power, the means for supporting the operative parts,consisting of the base A, the standard B, and the frame comprising theconnected uprights C, D, and E, said uprights E having journal-bearingarm K, substantially as and for the purpose speci- 2. In a churn-power,the shaft F, carrying the spur-wheel f', the shaft G, carrying the gearg, engaging with said wheel f the balance-wheel II, and the spur-gearl,carried by said shaft G, the shaft J, carrying the pinion j, engagingwith the gear-wheel I, and the ehuck j, attached to the lower end of theshaft J, all arranged and combined substantially as and for the purposespecified.

3. In a churn-power, the shaft F, carrying the spur-gem' f', the shaftG,ea1'rying' the 111 testimony whereof I hereunto :Llx my Signature inpresenee of two wibnesses.
